To my respected teacher, indeed my inspiration, all thanks and appreciation for your all this effort to teach me and others the French language in an easy and enjoyable manner. It is noted that the writing of the French text is not clear with the reflection of the light. I hope it is dark, clear, and large. Thanks Thank you.
That answer does not make sense to me. You speak in sounds in French? Every spoken language does that. The written word is suppose to be a reflection of the language. French is the only language that sounds nothing like what is written(to my ears and excluding Asian languages). I have looked at many languages and French is by far the most difficult to parse visually. I fully understand that language is relatively arbitrary but simply adding letters that have no sound seems intentionally obfuscating. I'm sure there is some reason why it was done but on the face of it it makes no sense. In your mind, when you read French how do you think about the extra letters that you are not suppose to pronounce? Obviously it is programmed in your brain by now but it is very difficult to learn French, IMO, because there seems no rhyme or reason between the spoken and written word. Again, I'm sure there is and knowing that reason(s) might help make sense of written French. I have looked at many languages, excluding Asian, and French is about 100x "worse" at doing this. Basically every word in French has letters that seem to be added for no reason since they are no spoken. Yes, other languages have them but very few comparatively. The "liasons" or "ligatures" may be an explanation but I haven't ingrained that in yet. That is, to me, it seems that French adds letters that may or may not be spoken but depending on context they actually are attached as a "prefix" to the next word. This is very odd because English definitely never does this and every language I have looked at does not do this(maybe Italian or Spanish does it a little but not like French). What might be helpful would be for you to create a video that explains precisely how your mind processes such words. For me, what I see something like C'est it looks like Cest and so is pronounced like zest, sest, fest, gest, jest, hest, or whatever... the -est is important because in English it is pronounced exactly as if it were e-s-t with each letter sounding out the way it works. E.g., when I was learning English as a kid I could sound out words and such and almost always be write since there is almost a one to one correspondence between what is written and the alphabet. There are exceptions in some sense but they are rare. I can't use that logic to understand French. I can use that logic to understand Russian, Chinese, Korean, and many other languages(less so with Italian and Spanish and it seems these "Romance languages" all have such "oddities" but French taking it to the extreme). So I find it very difficult to look at French text and speak it or translate spoken in to text. Obviously with experience/immersion everything works out but it's nice to have some idea on how to "navigate" the *written* part of french. I find spoken French is much easier to understand than written. I generally can guess at what the word means by context or comparison to other languages. I can't guess at the spelling though. I can spelling in English and, say, with Korean it is almost 100% the same idea. Even Chinese is simple but it's because every character has a specific sound(so it's almost 100% memorization). In your mind it is natural to leave out words or connect words in a complex way. In my mind it is unnatural to do that. For it to become natural either I have to immerse or have some type of understanding to grasp what really is going on. Of course I'm new to French so with time I'll figure it out but the sooner the better ;)
@@kodfkdleepd2876she has a great course on French pronunciation here on the channel, where she explains in detail the sounds, to me she made it very easy to understand, maybe you can try that and see if you understand it.
Merci beaucoup, Dylane!

You are ;)
You are great
No you are 😍
Are forms of "faire" in imparfait pronounced with normal -ai- (like in fais) or with -eh- (like in "faisons")?
🙏💖😊

If you don't pronounce a letter why write it? Just curious.
Because we speak in sounds in French. French does have a lot of silent letters but a the end of the day lot of languages have them too :)
